Carnegie Mellon University Advanced Sculpture students will take over the Future Tenant space for one night only, Friday, September 21. Their exhibition, Object + Body, considers how occupying space is a radical act. What is the relationship between one's body, actions, activism, and everyday life? What about the relationship between the physical body and the social body?

New Order: Collage Now features the work of eight professional artists whose work prominently features the medium of collage, each with a distinctive approach. All of the artists in this exhibition are local to Pittsburgh, where old and new exist side by side in a landscape that boasts every kind of architecture, is varied by hills and valleys and rivers, and changes with all four seasons. These artists are creating new meanings through juxtapositions, finding relationships and contrasts in the world around them to form fresh ideas.
